Quebec Parks and Viewpoints

Quebec City’s green spaces range from the sprawling historic grounds of Battlefields Park, site of the 1759 Battle of the Plains of Abraham, to the manicured gardens of Bois-de-Coulonge Park. The city offers diverse vistas from the 221-meter-high Observatoire de la Capitale and the riverside Quai Paquet, known for its expansive fountain. Modern urban spaces like Place des canotiers and Place de Paris revitalize the Old Port, while inland spots like Domaine de Maizerets provide extensive trail networks and arboretums.
